The multiverse has shattered and the biggest crossover in WWE history will take place at SummerSlam when nefarious evildoers "The Prince of Dark Matter" Stardust and "The Bare-Knuckle Brawler" King Barrett join forces to battle "The Man That Gravity Forgot" Neville and DC Comics' Green Arrow – Stephen Amell.

UPDATE

Amell injured in training

According to a video he posted, Amell was doing a snatch, which is a lift where you take the bar from the floor to overhead without pausing at the shoulders (which would be a clean and jerk or clean and press). When doing the lift, he ended up smashing the bar into his jaw.

He suffered a cracked jaw, his molars were indented into his tongue and his tongue was swollen. No word on how this may or may not affect his match next week.

Update

Stephen Amell shows a sneak peek of the ring gear he'll be wearing for SummerSlam:

[Sephzilla]

His entrance better goddamn begin with "My name is Oliver Queen". I was actually sold on this after the backstage segment with HHH.

 

[Volimar]

He's a big fan. Must be a dream come true for him.


"You have failed this Arena!"

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Awesome. Can't wait. He did well on Raw and he's a huge wrestling fan. Good for him.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Should have been Roy. He'd be flipping them off.

 

[enewtabie]

Is Nevile the guy that height forgot? Wow the height disparity is apparent.

 

[Broken Joystick]

This is the first instance where going from TV to wrestling is the best career move

Spoiler

lol season 3

Spoiler

yes im joking, I hope he does flips and shit

 

[G-Fex]

That's the stupidest idea..

 

[Escape Goat]

Its so easy even Trump can do it.

 

[Frozenprince]

WWE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Is he going to be in character, like Zeus at SummerSlam '89 or RoboCop on Nitro?

 

[Ithil]

Should have been Roy. He'd be flipping them off.

Roy vs Neville

 

[MattyG]

Is he actually going to fight as Green Arrow? That's fucking awesome.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I'm okay with this

 

[Ninja Scooter]

First Kevin Owens now him? I don't like this trend of grabbing people out of the crowd and letting them wrestle at ppvs.

 

[Sid]

Can't fucking wait for SummaSlem

 

[zeemumu]

Pushing Arrow for Summerslam

 

[BotchPoppaPump]

There are other matches on the card beside Taker?

 

[Sephzilla]

First Kevin Owens now him? I don't like this trend of grabbing people out of the crowd and letting them wrestle at ppvs.

To be fair, Amell probably has as much muscle definition as a decent amount of the roster

 

[Toki767]

He seemed athletic enough at least.

 

[DoktorEvil]

He seemed athletic enough at least.

He better wear the costume, all the time.

 

[joelseph]

Highlight of last night for me.

 

[DeathyBoy]

He really put nearly the entire roster to shame with that backstage promo. See, if you can actually act you can make that terrible WWE dialogue work.

 

[shanafan]

The real Green Arrow.. no matter who else the DC movie universe wants to cast

 

[sturmdogg]

He seemed athletic enough at least.

Is there a youtube version of this? What made him jump into the ring like that?

 

[shanafan]

Is there a youtube version of this? What made him jump into the ring like that?

Not Youtube, but Facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/wwe/videos/10153177972836443/

 

[Double D]

So is he supposed to be Oliver Queen/Arrow or Stephen Amell?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Is there a youtube version of this? What made him jump into the ring like that?

[Kornflayx]

He better wear the costume, all the time.

Already putting 90% of the roster to shame with his athletic ability

 

[Sephzilla]

So is he supposed to be Oliver Queen/Arrow or Stephen Amell?

They're teasing that he might wrestle as Green Arrow. The guy he'll be tag teaming with, Neville, coincidentally has a finishing move named The Red Arrow

 

[Anth0ny]

He really put nearly the entire roster to shame with that backstage promo. See, if you can actually act you can make that terrible WWE dialogue work.

yup. amell killed it last night.

Already putting 90% of the roster to shame with his athletic ability

and that body:

we could be looking at a future wwe champion

 

[fallengorn]

Thea should parachute in and disrupt the match.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

He really put nearly the entire roster to shame with that backstage promo. See, if you can actually act you can make that terrible WWE dialogue work.

What?

 

[DeathyBoy]

What?

Amell isn't DeNiro, but compare him to Neville in that segment. One of them knew how to convey emotion, the other was just saying words.

 

[Metalmarc]

If his entrance theme isnt radioactive, then they're doing It wrong

 

[BattleMonkey]

That's the stupidest idea..

Robocop rescuing Sting will never be topped

 

[BronsonLee]

Thea should parachute in and disrupt the match.

And then just jump out of a fucking window to escape nothing

If his entrance theme isnt radioactive, then they're doing It wrong

Ollie isn't the beta tho, he's the omega

 

[Sephzilla]

If his entrance theme isnt radioactive, then they're doing It wrong

Meanwhile, in the crowd at SummerSlam

 

[adj_noun]

If he teamed with Bo Dallas they could be Bo and Arrow.

 

[Poodlestrike]

This whole thing has never stopped being hilarious.

I look forward to the GIFs.

 

[BronsonLee]

Also, ArrowGAF and WrassleGAF mixing and teaming up is both a hilarious dream, and a horrifying nightmare.

THINK OF THE GIFS

 

[Ithil]

His entrance had better be interrupting someone else's entrance while Radioactive plays, and the other person stands sadly on the ramp as he passes by.

 

[Guzim]

I really liked the segment with Stardust a lot, and it made me excited to see that match at Summerslam.

 

[SpideySenses]

If they book him to lose, hopefully they can fly Emily Bett Rickards in to cry at ringside. Or put Big Show in a blonde wig and glasses, that could work too.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I have no idea who this guy is or what Arrow is.

But I have the network so I'll be watching.

You guys know how much the network costs right maggle?

 

[DeathyBoy]

His entrance had better be interrupting someone else's entrance while Radioactive plays, and the other person stands sadly on the ramp as he passes by.

Amell interrupting Adam Rose's entrance, then walking to the ring with the female Rosebuds, would've been God-tier.

 

[Guzim]

I have no idea who this guy is or what Arrow is.

But I have the network so I'll be watching.

You guys know how much the network costs right maggle?

It's like Netflix, but better.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

He seemed athletic enough at least.

Got damn. Arrow got all up in that ass.

 

[DeathyBoy]

I have no idea who this guy is or what Arrow is.

But I have the network so I'll be watching.

You guys know how much the network costs right maggle?

 

[xenist]

This is so stupid it's actually great.
